Answer Sheet: C Practice Questions (Variables to Conditional Statements)
1. Swap two integers without using a temporary variable
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int a = 5, b = 10;
printf("Before swapping: a = %d, b = %d\n", a, b);
a = a + b;
b = a - b;
a = a - b;
printf("After swapping: a = %d, b = %d\n", a, b);
return 0;
}
2. Student's name, roll number, and grade
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
char name[50];
int roll;
char grade;
printf("Enter name: ");
scanf("%s", name);
printf("Enter roll number: ");
scanf("%d", &roll);
printf("Enter grade: ");
scanf(" %c", &grade);
printf("Name: %s\nRoll No: %d\nGrade: %c\n", name, roll, grade);
return 0;
}
3. Output of int x = 10.5;
The output is: 10
Explanation: 10.5 is a float, but it's being stored in an int variable, so it gets
truncated to 10.
4. Average of three numbers
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int a, b, c;
float avg;
printf("Enter three integers: ");
scanf("%d %d %d", &a, &b, &c);
avg = (a + b + c) / 3.0;
printf("Average = %.2f\n", avg);
return 0;
}
5. Net salary calculation
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
float basic, hra, da, pf, net;
printf("Enter basic salary: ");
scanf("%f", &basic);
hra = 0.10 * basic;
da = 0.05 * basic;
pf = 0.12 * basic;
net = basic + hra + da - pf;
printf("Net Salary = %.2f\n", net);
return 0;
}
6. a = 5, b = 2; result = a / b;
Output: 2.000000
Explanation: Integer division truncates decimal. a / b = 2, and assigning it to float
doesn't recover the decimal.
7. Largest of three numbers
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int a, b, c;
printf("Enter three numbers: ");
scanf("%d %d %d", &a, &b, &c);
if (a >= b && a >= c)
printf("%d is the largest\n", a);
else if (b >= a && b >= c)
printf("%d is the largest\n", b);
else
printf("%d is the largest\n", c);
return 0;
}
8. Leap year check
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int year;
printf("Enter a year: ");
scanf("%d", &year);
if ((year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0) || (year % 400 == 0))
printf("Leap year\n");
else
printf("Not a leap year\n");
return 0;
}
9. Vowel, consonant, digit or special character
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
int main() {
char ch;
printf("Enter a character: ");
scanf(" %c", &ch);
if (isalpha(ch)) {
if (ch == 'a' || ch == 'e' || ch == 'i' || ch == 'o' || ch == 'u' ||
ch == 'A' || ch == 'E' || ch == 'I' || ch == 'O' || ch == 'U')
printf("Vowel\n");
else
printf("Consonant\n");
} else if (isdigit(ch)) {
printf("Digit\n");
} else {
printf("Special character\n");
}
return 0;
}
10. Grade based on marks
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int marks;
printf("Enter marks: ");
scanf("%d", &marks);
if (marks >= 90)
printf("Grade A\n");
else if (marks >= 80)
printf("Grade B\n");
else if (marks >= 70)
printf("Grade C\n");
else if (marks >= 60)
printf("Grade D\n");
else
printf("Grade F\n");
return 0;
}
11. Simple calculator using switch
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
double a, b;
char op;
printf("Enter two numbers and operator (+ - * /): ");
scanf("%lf %lf %c", &a, &b, &op);
switch(op) {
case '+': printf("Result = %.2lf\n", a + b); break;
case '-': printf("Result = %.2lf\n", a - b); break;
case '*': printf("Result = %.2lf\n", a * b); break;
case '/':
if(b != 0)
printf("Result = %.2lf\n", a / b);
else
printf("Division by zero!\n");
break;
default: printf("Invalid operator\n");
}
return 0;
}
12. Even or odd without modulus
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int num;
printf("Enter a number: ");
scanf("%d", &num);
if ((num & 1) == 0)
printf("Even\n");
else
printf("Odd\n");
return 0;
}
13. Three-digit palindrome check
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int num, rev = 0, temp, rem;
printf("Enter a 3-digit number: ");
scanf("%d", &num);
temp = num;
while (temp != 0) {
rem = temp % 10;
rev = rev * 10 + rem;
temp /= 10;
}
if (num == rev)
printf("Palindrome\n");
else
printf("Not a palindrome\n");
return 0;
}
14. Triangle validity check
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int a, b, c;
printf("Enter three sides: ");
scanf("%d %d %d", &a, &b, &c);
if (a + b > c && b + c > a && c + a > b)
printf("Valid triangle\n");
else
printf("Invalid triangle\n");
return 0;
}
